Power shower, mixer, electric, thermostatic; what’s the difference? An electric shower takes in cold water and, like a very powerful kettle, heats the water to the appropriate temperature in a very short space of time. Electric showers only require an input of cold water and electricity to function which makes them very useful if you don’t want to, or are unable to, use hot water from your heating system.

A mixer shower needs both a hot and cold water feed as it combines the two in order to get the right temperature of water for showering. Mixer taps are able to work at a higher pressure than their equivalent electric showers because they don’t have to heat the water up in the unit – instead they take hot water directly from the system.

Thermostatic showers have a special valve in the control mechanism that keeps the temperature constant. In a regular mixer shower if the cold water pressure drops suddenly, you can get a shock when the water temperature increases suddenly. A thermostatic valve contains a temperature sensitive element that automatically reduces the waterflow of hot if the cold water pressure drops leading to a more constant temperature.

Power showers are mixer showers that use a pump to increase water pressure. If you’re already happy with the water pressure in your house then you may not need a power shower, however if you have low water pressure, or just like a really intense shower, then a power shower or a separate pump for a mixer unit would be a worthwhile investment.

Winsor 45 Combo Unit

This unit looks much better when installed than the pictures. I was n't sure about the ceramic basin but its sturdy and stylish; The Tabor toilet really upgrades the look. Excellent value for money. Great for small bathrooms or shower rooms.

stylish Space cabin

Loved this as soon as I saw it and it looks brilliant in the new bathroom - although daughter 2 said it looks like a space ship. Not sure will be able to get daughter 4 out ever again! Gave it four as couldn't find the product instructions (lots of product installation) and so had problems working out how to use some of the feature - though pretty straightforward in end (duh!). Also problem at beginning with steam - but the technical team at Better Bathrooms (Steven), was brilliant and all sorted pretty much immediately on my email.
worth it as a great purchase. If not worried about the radio or seat then may be able to get another cabin on this site for a lower price and worth that as just buying the shower, the glass, the overhead etc and working it all out comes to more than the price pay for this.
So, yes recommend the cabin and the retailer.
